After a long period of entanglement, Wu Yizhou's fleet was finally forced close to the island. This gave him less space to escape. The encirclement became thicker, and the battle situation was very unfavorable.

Zheng Zhilong, who was watching the battle from a distance, was very satisfied with the scene in front of him. He was thinking about ordering Shi Daxuan to surround the fleet and force them to surrender. But at this moment, he suddenly saw nine ships in the opponent's fleet exploded in the middle of the deck.

A ball of fire!

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong even thought that there was a problem with the opponent's ship. Then he put aside this idea. If there was a problem, it was impossible for nine ships to have problems at the same time. But he was too far away and couldn't see clearly what was going on.

We can only wait for subsequent developments.

But Shi Daxuan, who was closest to Wu Yizhou's fleet, saw it clearly! The center of the nine ships was originally covered with oilcloth, but now the oilcloth was lifted, revealing a thick and fat cannon fixed there like a tree stump!

The fire was caused by this strange cannon firing! As the fire flashed, nine huge cannonballs rose into the air and hit the three nearest ships!

Shi Daxuan instinctively felt that something was not good! If such a big shell hit the deck, it might really penetrate the deck and bilge, and it would not be impossible to directly sink a ship! So he stared at the nine pieces extremely nervously.

The landing point of a cannonball!

Eight of the cannonballs were misfired and fell into the sea. Apart from stirring up a water column, they did not cause any damage to the ship. But one of the pirate ships was very unlucky! The cannonball smashed through the top of the ship's building and fell into the ship.

Inside the building!

Just before Shi Daxuan could breathe a sigh of relief, with a loud noise, a huge fireball rose into the sky! The entire deck of the ship was blown to pieces! Everyone on the deck was instantly killed and injured, and no one was injured.

Stand up! Even three masts fell down, the ship's hull shook violently, and its speed immediately slowed down!

Seeing the miserable appearance of the ship, Shi Daxuan was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat! He couldn't help but imagine in his mind the scene of himself being hit by such a shell on the ship, which made him shudder!

To be honest, Shi Daxuan has never seen such a strange shell in all his years at sea! Not only is it huge, but it can also explode! This is so surprising!

And not only Shi Daxuan was frightened, but the pirates in the entire encirclement were also greatly frightened! The miserable look of the ship told them that getting too close to the other party would cause big problems!

With the huge explosion, the sea suddenly became quiet. It seemed that all the fighting had stopped! But the sailors of Wu Yizhou's fleet did not stop! They cheered even more when they saw the results of the exploding bombs! Seize the time to clear the chamber and load it.

Another round of artillery fire!

gunners

There was a tacit understanding of the three ships in a group, each aiming at a target and shooting. After the first round of trajectory correction, the second round of shooting became more accurate. Two of the three target ships were hit.

The front guard of a ship was hit by two explosive shells. After two consecutive explosions, everyone on the front deck disappeared! Two masts also fell down. The ship lost control and turned sharply to the right.

, crashed into another pirate ship, causing a exclamation!

The other ship was like a replica of the first ship! The cannonball hit the ship building, and the huge explosion shattered the entire ship building, and also caused a fire! There was probably some flammable items stored in the ship building.

!

The sudden appearance of this new weapon made the pirates jump, and the ship could not help but slow down! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Yizhou led the fleet to bypass the destroyed ships, break out of the encirclement, and return to the wide sea.

, once again took the tactical initiative.

When Shi Daxuan saw Wu Yizhou's fleet passing through his encirclement, he jumped in anger on the ship! The pirates who were cursing loudly could not carry out the order and let their opponents go in vain! But he also knew that his men were afraid of that strange thing.

cannon.

This new cannon is so terrifying! As long as one shell falls on the ship, it can basically wipe out the entire deck! Moreover, its trajectory is very weird and arc-shaped, which cannot be blocked by the rows and the ship's side! Especially

Three ships were destroyed by this kind of cannon. How could other pirates not be afraid?

Zheng Zhilong in the distance also saw this situation. Although he was a little frightened, he knew that in a battle with such a huge difference in troop strength, not a few artillery pieces could change the situation. His victory was only a matter of time, after all, there were so many casualties on the opponent's fleet.

It's also very big.

He looked up at the sun and estimated the time. Then he whispered to the people behind him: "Send a speedboat out to contact our ambushing people and ask them to approach slowly. It is estimated that the decisive battle should be at noon.

It’s time!”

It has to be said that Zheng Zhilong is indeed an expert in maritime warfare. He judged Liu Pei's combat intentions very accurately and made targeted preparations. When Zheng Zhilong saw a clipper leaving his team and sailing away, he

He turned his attention to the sea.

This time Wu Yizhou no longer hid, and used heavy and light artillery to attack, frequently forcing the approaching pirates to retreat, and escaped from the encirclement that was about to be formed several times. Inflicting heavy damage to the pirates, except for the four that were destroyed.

ship, and seven ships withdrew from the battle.

Zheng Zhilong, who was watching the battle, was not in a hurry, but Shi Daxuan, who was conducting the battle, was very anxious! After all, he was also one of the tycoons in the sea, so how could he keep failing in front of a group of novices? Where did this put his face?

so

Just after Wu Yizhou broke through again, he ordered his ship to sail to the place where Wu Yizhou had just broken through. There was a ship at the breakthrough that was hit by four cannons, and the ship was in a mess! It was this ship that turned around under the gunfire.

, allowing Wu Yizhou to break through the encirclement again.

As the ship approached, Shi Daxuan pulled a rope and jumped onto the ship regardless. The leader on the ship was probably injured by sawdust, and half of his face was covered in blood! He wiped his face and walked towards Shi Daxuan with an apologetic smile.

come over.

He knew that Shi Daxuan was angry, but he was also very unhappy! There was no benefit to the effort this time, and so many brothers were killed and injured! He had decided to withdraw from the battle as soon as Shi Daxuan was fooled. But he couldn't do it again.

Dead people!

But he didn't expect that as soon as he walked in front of Shi Daxuan, before he could speak, Shi Daxuan struck at him with his knife! The leader was caught off guard, and Shi Daxuan raised his knife and chopped off his head! Shi Daxuan raised his foot and kicked the body into the sea.

, shouted loudly: "Anyone who cowers or disobeys orders will be executed on the spot!"

After killing the people, Shi Daxuan randomly assigned someone to command the ship, and then jumped back to command the fleet to surround them. He could no longer care about Zheng Zhilong's order to surround them without killing them, and was determined to attack with all his strength to save his face.

The news that Shi Daxuan had killed a small leader quickly spread in the fleet. Now the pirates were frightened into silence! Now the pirates all knew that Shi Daxuan was really angry! Moreover, Shi Daxuan also asked someone to pass on a message.

, which fully shows that this person is quite talented and is not just a reckless man who only knows how to behead people.

What he said: "A group of veterans who have been floating on the sea for decades are being fooled around by a group of turtles who have just learned to swim. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Encouraged by the threat of beheading and ridicule, the pirates finally plucked up the courage to attack with all their strength. Once the pirates let go and attacked regardless of losses, Wu Yizhou's situation immediately became difficult! Although the sailors in his fleet

They have all received strict training, but experience cannot be completely solved by training! So the whole situation quickly tilted towards the pirates.

The two sides struggled on the sea for nearly an hour, and finally were captured by pirates. The sails of two ships in Wu Yizhou's fleet were damaged in many places, and their speed inevitably dropped a lot. They had to follow the tail of the fleet.

, at the same time, the sailors were still taking the time to repair the sails.

Just when they made a breakthrough again, the two ships were too slow and were hit hard by two pirate ships on the side! After being hit, the two ships almost stopped moving forward completely. The sailors on the two ships
Chapter completed!
